LIMA. Mar 30: Paraguay goalkeeper Jose Luis Chilavert missed a penalty as his team were beaten 2-0 by Peru in their opening South American World Cup qualifier on Wednesday, reports Reuters.
England-based Nolberto Solano, whose determination to play for his country has led to conflicts with Newcastle where he plays his club football, gave Peru a 54th minute lead with a penalty.
It was awarded for a foul on German-based Claudio Pizarro, who missed an excellent first half chance and had another brilliantly saved by Chilavert.
Two minutes later. Roberto Placios scored Peru's second goal with a powerful long-range shot.
Chilavert, a regular taker of free kicks for both his club and country; missed an excellent chance to pull Paraguay back into the game in the 70th minute when his penalty was saved by Peru goalkeeper Oscar Ibanez.
Peru, who have not reached the World Cup for 20 years, had six players booked, while Chilavert was one of two Paraguayans shown the yellow card for his protests over the Peruvian penalty.
over Chile on Wednesday with two off their goals resulting from controversial refereeing decisions .
Gabriel Batistuta opened the scoring for Argentina from a free kick wlch appeared to be wrongly given by Ecuadorean referee Byron Moreno, who awarded a foul for what seemed like i fair tackle on Ariel Or-h'ga.
Argentina's third goal came from a farcical penalty which was also given for an alleged foul on Ortega, a player mtn a reputation for theatrics
Ortega pushed Chile's Rodrigo Tello as the two went for the ball, (han threw himself dramatically to the
ground in what television replays clearly showed to be a dive.
To the astonishment of Chilean players. referee Moreno pointed to the spot and Juan Sebastian Veron, who also scored Argentina’s second goal, converted.
Ironically. FIFA president Sepp Blatter, who has condemned diving as cheating and promised to stamp it out. was among a 50,000 crowd at the River Plate stadium.
Claudio Lopez scored Argentina’s fourth while Tello briefly put Chile back on level terms In the first half with a superb free kick. The story may have been different had Chile veteran Ivan Zamorano not wasted two excellent chances with Argentina ahead 2-1.
Argentina, fielding an attacking formation, made a bright start and were quickly in front. Batistuta fired them ahead in the 10th minute when he curled a brilliant 30-metre free kick around the Chilean wall into the net.
The Chileans argued that the kick should not have been awarded as Clarence Acuna's tackle on Ortega appeared to be fair. Ortega, however, fell over and was given the foul.
Argentina missed several chances to increase their lead in quick succession, then paid in the 29th minute
when Tello scored with a dipping 30-metre free kick.
The home side regained the lead five minutes later. Veron, who along with Javier Zanetti had an outstanding game, scoring with a well-placed shot from the edge of the penalty area following an amazing goalmouth scramble.
Chile’s best spell cajne early in the second half and should have brought them back on
level terms.
Zamorano, who has gone back on a decision to retire from the national team, missed two golden chances In the space of five minutes witn only goalkeeper Roberto Bonano to beat.
The first was blocked by Bo-nano's foot and the second, brilliantly created by a Marcelo Salas flick, was fired over the crossbar.
Veron's penalty effectively sealed the points before Lopez added a fourth two minutes from the end
Batistuta, given the captain’s armband after winning a vote among the players, crossed from the right and
Claudio Lopez nonchalantly flicked the ball over Chile's eccentric goalkeeper Marcelo Ramirez.
Referee Moreno completed a disappointing display with a lenient approach to discipline. He failed to punish several wild challenges or the ranting protests of Argentine striker Lopez.
